I can't be the only one who thinks its exceptionally rude to keep everyone waiting. They said it would be 5pm and yet they are almost 20 minutes late so far...

Labour MP Lloyd Russell-Moyle has tested positive for Covid-19. 6 day wait for results apparently.

BNO Newsroom - 'BREAKING: Italy reports 4,207 new cases of coronavirus and 475 new deaths, raising total to 35,713 cases and 2,978 dead.'

Just had a bbc notification about pending Uk school closure info. Umm no... Wales, Scotland and NI already have theirs - you mean England

Yes-in their own homes? As per the rest of the sensible world. And stop them spreading this all over the place. Kids school shut yesterday: kids all over town today. It's ridiculous and must now be stopped.

Gavin Williamson now

Here we go

Schools shut Friday afternoon. They remain closed until further notice.

Schools Closed from
Friday until further notice

Schools are closed from Friday

Fuck, that looks even more petty against the Italy deaths 😕

Finally

Small number of children to attend (key workers
NHS staff police delivery drivers

Vulnerable chn are those with social worker and EHCP

School shut from Friday to everyone except children of key workers.

Thanks, nellodee

Where I live, and millions live is rows and rows of high flats, narrow streets, no outside space that isn't public crammed with people. We will have to go out to buy food, and to have some outside

Chris whitty ill? His deputy is with boris.

Where's Whitty!

Nellodee you should have been advising the gov from the off.

You said all this ages ago.

The right thing at the right time...yes because so much has changed in regards to schools since yesterday.

Has he mentioned universities? I was getting tea made and missed some of it.

What channel is boris supposed to be on?

He's on sky news

BoJo on schools

Balanced judgement right time for action etc

Apply downward pressure on the curve.

After Friday schools remain closed for most until further notice.

Objective to slow spread of virus.
